The Permit Process
Once an application to do construction work has been approved, a
contractor can apply for a building permit to begin the work.
• Applicant submits to the permit clerk the approved folder with a
stamp indicating that microfilm has been received, along with the
documents below:
– PW-2 form, signed and notarized by contractor. If licensee,
seal is required in lieu of notarization.
– PW-3 form (cost affidavit), signed by contractor and notarized.
If licensee, sign and seal.
– A check for thirty-five dollars (final microfilming fee).
• Permit clerk checks for fees due and valid insurance prior to
producing the permit.
• The permit is generated and the permit clerk enters the permit
issuance date in BIS.
• The application folder is retained by the permit clerk and sent to
the Record Room for filing.

Building Code
•The current Building Code was enacted by the
City Council on October 22, 1968, and approved
by the Mayor on November 6, 1968. It became
effective on December 6, 1968, superseding the
Building Code enacted in 1938. The "New Code"
is based largely upon nationally accepted
performance standards and specifications for
materials and construction assemblies. The
present edition available here updates the Building
Code to October 1, 2004.
•Download a copy of the Code from the Building’s
web site OR purchase a copy from the City Store
